Good Afternoon,

I am a newbie and have no doubt this questions is so stunningly stupid it will cause me embarrassment when I cast my eyes over it in future years!

Anyway...

Our database is mapped and working lovely. I would now like to run queries that return fields from multiple tables in a single aggregated POJO. This is fine and I can follow the examples from the Hibernate tutorial and return the results as arrays of Objects, a List (or even pass results directly to a Constructor) and manually create\build up the POJO.

Is there a cleverer way to do this with hibernate mapping files? This would just be for query results (reads), not for persisting.

Cheers

Well, your constructor solution is the way to go. Another way to solve it would be creating a view and map your class to that view.

Thanks for the confirmation.

Cheers

Mat
